Overseas Vietnamese

VGP – Deputy PM, FM Pham Binh Minh called for brainpower and ardor of overseas Vietnamese to build a strong and prosperous country while addressing the Conference for Overseas Vietnamese in Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday.

VGP – Viet Nam’s development potential and resources lay not only in the S-shaped country but also in many other places around the globe, PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said, implying Vietnamese expatriates who attended a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on November 12.

Overseas Vietnamese are an inseparable part of Việt Nam and though they live abroad, their hearts are always with the country, a delegation heard at the third overseas Vietnamese conference, which closed on yesterday in HCM City.

Expatriates showed their high determination to work with Ho Chi Minh City's authorities and people in turning the city into a major centre of economics, trade, science and technology in Southeast Asia during the Conference of Overseas Vietnamese 2016.

A young man in the central city of Da Nang has been arrested for investigation after he was found cheating nearly 100 people of a huge amount of money by using Facebook accounts stolen from overseas Vietnamese.

Vietnam has decided to put an end on a policy that grants tax exemption to cars and motorbikes taken to their home country by overseas Vietnamese, or Viet Kieu, as many have been found abusing the privilege.

The Finance Ministry has proposed ending a long-running policy that grants import tariff and value-added tax exemptions to cars imported by Viet kieu (overseas Vietnamese) when they return to Vietnam to live or work.
